2026 Monday Night Football Schedule: Bills, Giants Among Teams With Multiple MNF Games
11 of the 17 Monday Night Football games for 2026 have opening spreads within 3.0 points. Which of these games will be the most action-packed? Let's dive in.
The 2026 NFL schedule has officially been released. Aside from the best NFL schedule release videos, there were a few changes that stick out relative to previous seasons.
One of those changes is the addition of a Thanksgiving Eve game to the NFL Thanksgiving games schedule, on top of what we’ve come to expect from the NFL Christmas games schedule.
The biggest change, however, pertains to the 2026 Monday Night Football schedule. As you’ll notice below, there are no more MNF doubleheaders. That’s a big win for East Coast Dads, who have spent the last couple of seasons brewing extra pots of coffee for 10 PM kickoffs.
